The past week in guff

During City-Chelsea, Lawro put his neck on the line.
“Everyone who wants to win it has to finish above Chelsea, for me.”

Though he refused to rule out a historic double:
“At least one of these two teams will win the league.”

Reflecting on Cork City’s title win 2005, John O’Flynn revealed one teammate was a horse of a boy:
“Some of the young lads like Garry Buckley was in the crowd that night with his dad on his shoulders.”

Niall Quinn must attract some quizzical looks when he goes about his business during the week:
“The last time Liverpool played in London, I was applauding their performance for days.”

Hammers’ co-owner David Gold didn’t show much appreciation for the faithful who made it to Hull.
@davidgold: Safe journey home you West Ham fans. It’s a long way but well done, your support was invalid. Thank you. dg.

HOMEWORK DONE

There were early indications from Liam Brady on Champions League night that the RTE lads will be investing as heavily as ever in research this season.

“They have Lewandowski up front who they paid an absolute fortune for.”
POSSIBLY SO?

Who could Eamon Dunphy have been talking about in this interview with thescore.ie?
“We had a panelist not too long ago who didn’t actually respect anyone he was working with and he was a pain in the arse.”
